VM's from ESXi, live migration not possible
-
Also after disconnecting the VHD, creating a new similar virtual machine and attaching the VHD, there is no difference in live migration capability or tools version showing up
-
Can you show the output of
xe vm-param-list uuid=<VM UUID>for both VMs so we can compare and see the diff? -

Are you using a PCI passthrough or something in the CTX VM? Because that's the issue here: inside the VM, there's a device that can't be suspended.
-
@olivierlambert I am not using any kind of PCI passthrough, but it seems like the storage device for xcp-ng is not using the correct driver.
This is the result of the migrated CTX servers (now using a different server as example, but the result is the same):
With the test server:
however, just changing the storage driver doesn't seem to work. Any experience or tips with this?
-
Okay so the Xen PV driver for storage isn't working correctly in the problematic VM, so the storage can't be suspended to do a live migration. That's causing your issue
I don't know why the device isn't working correctly (maybe try to reinstall the tools?), but as soon it does, live migrate should work.
-
@olivierlambert The problem with fully installing the tools is our antivirus solution SentinelOne. Simply pausing the agent + reboot gave the XenTools the possibility to install succesfully. After a succesfull installation, enabling the SentinelOne agent again is possible without any other issues regarding the tools or drivers.
-
Oh great news then!!!
So now you can live migrate and such, right?
-
@olivierlambert Yes! Live migration is now available and working. Which is great!
-
Excellent news! Thank you very much for the feedback, it might be helpful for others
Enjoy XCP-ng and XO!

Thank you for that find, I was in the same boat.

Oh wow, I couldn't think it would have been helpful that fast!! I think I might update our documentation page about Windows tools and this issue.

Yes, take a look at ticket #7723929. There is also something about shrinking a Windows partition using Linux tools and avoid data loss that could be added to the doc.

Done: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/troubleshooting/windows-pv-tools/#not-all-pv-drivers-are-correctly-installed
wow that was fast, thank you!

@glatour Where would you add this in our doc? (the shrink tip)

There: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/guides/shrink_virtual_drive/ under the Windows VMs part.

On it!
